The Best Attorney In the State of Wisconsin
I am so grateful that Defense Attorney Michael G. Levine and his firm represents my loved one in profoundly serious criminal defense matter.
From the start, Michael exhibited professionalism and care, always going out of his way to ensure an aggressive defense utilizing creative methods and researching every detail guaranteeing the best results possible. Michael has always been exceptionally responsive to my calls, educating me on each specific part of the case to help me make informed decisions on behalf of my loved one. He has a compassionate ear, always mindful of the sensitive and sometimes hurtful issues/topic at hand.
eI have been knowing Michael for quite some time and his reputation in the judicial community is that of a talented, multi-faceted, quick intelligence, position of respect and confidence, which Michael holds in the legal profession, has been well earned. He is well respected and liked by judges, adversaries, court employees and the community. Michael is always thoroughly prepared, whether it’s for a conference call, court appearance or trial, his hard work and the time he puts into each aspect of the matter is evidenced by his results.
He is a man of integrity and morals. In the course of our battles with the state prosecutors, I am confident in his course of action, delivery style, his qualities of candidness, honesty, even temper, and soundness which I admire in him.
Words cannot justify the outstanding service that we’re receiving from Attorney Michael G. Levine while enduring one of the toughest times in my life. It is not often that you meet an attorney/defense attorney that care and is committed to his clients.
If an individual is faced with serious criminal charges, without hesitation, I Highly recommend
Wisconsin’s Five Star Defense Attorney, Michael G. Levine!

Fabulous Attorney
I hired Michael when I was erroneously accused of shoplifting at a upscale grocery store. After spending over $200.00 on groceries, a small, $ 10.00 tube of eczema cream slipped through the opening of the child seat area of my cart. Theft management personnel at the store behaved in an arrogant and intimidating manner. The bullying I was subjected to was nothing short of harrassment. They were literally screaming at me because I would not cooperate and sign a form stating I intentionally stole an item. They then told me they were going to have me arrested. I told them I would not sign the form because I did not intentionally conceal anything - nor would I ever do anything like this. They then proceeded to call the police and the police were "required" to give me a ticket or a citation.
Although a ticket in the grand scheme of things was not detrimental to my record in any way. The way I was treated was absolutly unacceptable to me. As a professional, a mother of two children and a law abiding
citizen, I would not accept a ticket for shoplifting when it was completely unintentional. The incident was emotionally overwhelming and insulting.
after meeting with a couple of attorneys , I called Michael and went into his office. He made me feel comfortable. He explained what happened and why they were able to cite me. After researching - it seemed the grocery store had done this to other women before.
Michael went to court on my behalf. Michael was effective in having the the ticket dismissed without any other action on my part .
Thank you Michael - you are an excellent attorney and a fabulous person.

100% recommendation of Michael for handling my case that could of been possession with intent to distribute (potential felony)
I was pulled over for an expired tag on my auto plate. I was arrested on spot and booked for unpaid tickets belonging to another county. While being searched at the station the police found 15 pills in the jacket I was wearing which after lab testing of them turned out to be xtc. I was looking at felony possession with the additional charge of intent to distribute. Michael was very responsive and swift in action to plan out the defense plan. He never once sugar coated the possible outcomes. He kept me informed every step of the way. After a few sessions with the county and the assistant DA (plus no snitching on anyone with those damn wannabe cowboy detectives) case was dropped due to it being my first offense ever in my life for anything. No charges, no probation, no fines. I was really surprised by this outcome as this never really happens like this. I credit a bit of good luck on my side and a huge part of Michaels great work in knowing which county programs to work with to try to defer the charges. I would recommend him over and over to all my friends and family. 100% trust in him and totally grateful of his services. Thank you Michael (DP)

No preparation
Great communication, but Michael thinks he is the best and he did not walk prepared into the hearing, in fact, we lost. He did not take my case seriously, just my money.
